Dwight Gooden reeled off a total of 11 strikeouts as the New York Mets topped
the Chicago Cubs by a score of 4 to 3 at Polo Grounds.
 
Gooden(1-0) earned his pay with a solid performance for New York.  He was
reached for 6 hits and 1 walk in 8 innings and surrendered 2
'round-trippers'.  Chicago made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable
to push the needed runs across.  
 
Randy Myers earned his 1st save.  The loss was charged to C.C. Sabathia(0-1).
Everyone seemed to enjoy the performance of Gooden - except Chicago.  Leo
Durocher lamented, 'He just was 'on' tonight.  He was keeping our guys off
balance all game.  A fine game by a good strikeout pitcher - makes it a fun
game for the hometown fans - unfortunately we were the visitors!'
